Bart Byl on Lamentations 4:11-13, 5:1-22.

Series: Christ in the Old Testament

Lamentations is a collection of five poems in which the poet (traditionally, Jeremiah) grieves over the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 587 BC. Not all suffering is deserved, but this affliction is: God is punishing Judah for her wickedness. Will God relent and show mercy? Lamentations ends with uncertainty, but thank God the coming of Christ will give us sinners boldness in the face of judgment.
